Rye Arts Festival Gavin Esler – Brexit without the Bullshit
Brexit Without the Bullshit with Gavin Esler
How Brexit will change Britain
Will Brexit boost jobs? Or wreck the NHS? And what about food shortages?
Gavin’s recently published book, Brexit Without the Bullshit, sets out to look at the real impact Brexit will have on the UK. From strawberries to passports, the broadcaster and journalist Gavin Esler presents a no-bullshit guide to the most momentous change in British life for decades, covering areas such as:
- Food and diet
- Health and the NHS
- Jobs and industry
- Education
- Travel to Europe
From the food markets of Kent to NHS operating theatres to the boardrooms of big employers, Brexit throws up many surprises. Some are deeply unpleasant.
Gavin Esler’s Brexit Without the Bullshit is not about the Brexit you were told you were getting. He argues that it’s about the one that is arriving. The talk will be followed by a Question & Answer session.
Copies of Gavin’s new book, Brexit Without the Bullshit, will be on sale at his talk.

Reviews:
If you want a pithy, sober, clear-headed summary of what Brexit is actually likely to look like, Gavin Esler’s new book is spot on. Such a welcome antidote to all the whipped up sentiment – calm, factual, rigorous. – Dr Rachel Clarke, palliative doctor and NHS campaigner
Esler provides the evidence of what Brexit has already done to Britain and the harm that it is causing and will cause, in particular to the poorest in our society. A guide for all who want to understand what Brexit really means. – Jessica Simor QC
A brilliant demolition of the lies and liars that created the Brexit mess. Should be required reading at his old stamping ground, the BBC – Alastair Campbell, writer and broadcaster
